The European Judo Union has launched a series of cultural youth exchange programmes. The aim of the project is to encourage exchange visits between judo clubs, regions, and twin towns from different countries.

This is a new board for clubs who are interested in finding other clubs to engage in an exchange programme. The focus of course depends on the requirements of each individual club, for example this can be training, education or culture exchange.

The "Tacita de Plata" is considered the oldest city in the West. Its foundation is due (1100 BC) to the Phoenicians, a seafaring town that would make Gadir an important commercial colony in which Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Muslims would later settle. A cosmopolitan and open city, Columbus chose his port as the starting point for his second trip to the New World. The city would become, after the decline of the port of Seville, the port of the Indies, bringing together the commercial flow with America. This frenetic commercial activity was translated into a period of economic and cultural splendor, in which baroque palaces with their characteristic lookout towers were erected. The Cathedral, visible from the sea, especially its dome covered with golden tiles, fits in perfectly with the Cadiz appearance of colonial airs. It combines baroque and neoclassical styles and its treasure is one of the most important in Spain. The intense trade with the Indies aroused the greed of the pirates making it necessary for the city to be fortified. The remains of the primitive but remodeled defensive crossfire system devised by Vauban make up an important part of the heritage wealth of Cádiz. The Puertas de Tierra preserve on both sides of the walls and semi-bastions such as those of San Roque and Santa Elena. A walk through the Campo del Sur allows you to contemplate the defensive bastions of Los Mártires and Capuchinos, next to La Caleta, escorted by the Castles of San Sebastián and Santa Catalina. In the direction of Alameda Apodaca, you can admire the Baluarte de la Candelaria and the Walls of San Carlos. The Walls of the Gates of Land clearly separate the new city reclaimed from the sea -structured along a great avenue and its extensive and atmospheric promenade- from the old one. The historic center has narrow streets and small squares with neighborhoods as popular as La Viña, El Mentidero, Santa María (true headquarters of flamenco singing) and El Pópulo. https://www.cadizturismo.com/en/municipios/cadiz
